MVCC Launches Dental Hygiene Degree at Rome Campus, Starting Spring 2027
Mohawk Valley residents can now train for dental hygiene close to home, in a field MVCC says faces a shortage as hygienists retire.
Mohawk Valley Community College is starting a two-year Dental Hygiene associate degree (AAS) at its Rome Campus, 1101 Floyd Ave., with the first classes in the spring 2027 semester that begins in January, MVCC announced Nov. 3. Enrollment is open now.
The program runs through MVCC's School of Health Sciences and includes a new on-campus dental hygiene clinic with digital imaging. New, current, returning and transfer students can apply. MVCC says the coursework meets certification requirements for dental hygiene anesthesia, and graduates can go on to a bachelor's degree.
